Actually, not cool. What's to say that you can't be "geeky" and the aforementioned things. Just because I've got a closet full of stylish clothes, does that automatically revoke my license to geek? Also, it seems there's a double standard, and that annoys. It's okay if an attractive female gets her geek on, so why can't a guy? Not cool, Our Valued Customers, not cool.

Amelia, the problem is that she's claiming to like nerdy guys, and then painting a picture of a guy that has nothing to do with nerdiness. You could just say that you like guys, as long as they're real hot etc.

Nerds/geeks/dorks have been a thing lately, and she seems to be just catering to that for indie cred or some such bullshit nonsense

that's the complaint hereplus, nerds are dedicated to video games and computers, that's literally how you define a nerd.. and that doesnt leave a lot of time for the gym, or a tan, or shopping for great clothes. Cant call yourself a nerd just 'cause you play games, unless you want to change the meaning of the word.

What is wrong with you? You've heard of a joke before, right? You're aware of the rhythms and cadences of said joke? You're aware that OTHER people know this too, yes? Or did you really think you needed to explain the mechanics? I mean, seriously? And on the basis of GRAMMAR?

Listen, this site is pretty much dedicated to mocking the worst offenders of nerd-dom, yet I'd fathom that the majority of its readers are self-described nerds themselves. Not everyone fits into the same narrow criteria.

I dress fashionably, have been described by various parties as reasonably attractive, and yet have never once in my life had my geek cred questioned.

If there's anything I lament most about the geek community, it's that despite supposedly being a bunch of marginalized outsiders, it really isn't anywhere near as inclusive as it should be.

This is the first "our valued customers" comic that I don't really understand. My boyfriend is a super comic-book nerd. He also happens to be hot and very fashionable. Why should these things be mutually exclusive? They aren't.

Um, you know, I actually don't see the problem with her statement. Basically she said she likes nerdy guys, but not the ones who don't know how to take care of themselves, that's all. I don't see it as a bad thing that she's honest about what she likes.
